PokerStars is one of the leading brands in the international poker industry which always has riveting festivals on offer for the most eager to lay their hands on some of the impressive cash payouts available. Such is the case at its latest stop which brings action to Lille, France over the span of an entire week. Across the numerous events available in the schedule, players would have the chance to showcase their full potential on the felt.
Lille is among the most picturesque cities in France situated at the northern tip of the country close to the border with Belgium.

The proximity to Belgium is going to provide more of them with the chance to make their way towards the poker festival and give their luck a try at one of the attractive tournaments.
Over the span of a total of seven days, Lille will be transformed into France’s hotspot when it comes to poker, as each day will bring several poker events to the participants. Starting Monday the first enthusiasts present had the chance to experience the €300 No-Limit Hold’em Super Deep Stack which gave them a starting chip stack of 50,000 in order to go deep in the poker tournament. This event is a multiple-day one and it is set to continue up until Wednesday, giving all players enough levels to reach the coveted cash prizes.
A single re-entry was available to the participants and all of them who made it to the official Day 2 were in for the money. Tuesday brought a couple of single-day events to the liking of €150 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo Survivor which also featured a single re-entry option for the players as well as a starting stack of 10,000 in chips. Today is set to bring another exciting tournament to anyone interested and this would be the €250 No-Limit Hold’em Knockout event warming up the field for the major tournaments coming ahead.
